So I felt, well, I'll make the money and, with the money, do what I want to do.
From Jackie Cooper
I never say too much about that in public interviews, because it disappoints the public to tell them you're not that crazy about a property you did that possibly they liked.
From that, I became very anxious to produce something of my own.
Well, they just don't know anything else except that one form of their business, acting, and they don't really want to learn any other part of it, or they would. Directing and producing and putting a show together is very creative, for me.
I would also like to act, once in a while, but not get up every morning at 5:30 or six o'clock and pound into the studio and get home at 7:30 or eight o'clock at night, or act over and over and over every night on Broadway, either.
A lot of people like to run in plays because it's a nice, steady job.
A nice, steady job I don't need that bad. I'm not that satisfied with it.
So if I keep making mistakes on Broadway or tape or film, producing, directing or acting, I can go along and do it - so long as I'm not investing too much capital in these things.
But the working I would always want to do.
But I want to do good work, after this series.
